Noam Chomsky is always a good read. "Manufacturering consent" is indispensible.

Beyond these works though, I strongly advise anybody who hasn't already, read Frank Herbert's "Dune" series. The man is a great writer and a great thinker, and clearly knew more than most of us will ever know about the politics of spin and public relations in temperal and spiritual application.
Just think about this quote for a moment;
If you believe certain words, you believe their hidden arguments. When you believe something is right or wrong, true or false, you believe the assumptions in the words which express the arguments. Such assumptions are often full of holes, but remain most precious to the convinced.
The Open-Ended Proof from The Panoplia Prophetica, Children of Dune 244
I agree with you to a point on that, jade, Herbert had several great ideas and ways of pointing out the obivious that made any avid and attentive read go "damn". What he talked about in his book was great in theory, similar to another goverment already implimented and shown not to work: Communism.
Its almost a monarchy, but not quite in that it deals directly with the economy. One controlling power or faction has always failed in the past, and that simply due to the human factor.......
gads....I went off topic with that one.

Carz Von Clausewitz - On War.
A very intersting read, also deals with more 'Modern' aspects of warfare.
